I am a software quality assurance engineer with over 20 years of experience testing client/server and server-side applications across healthcare, insurance, and manufacturing domains. I excel at validating user interfaces, databases, ETL processes, and automated tests, with hands-on work in Oracle, SQL Server, OBIEE, and web services. I enjoy collaborating with business users, analysts, and developers to ensure high-quality releases. My approach combines thorough test planning, risk-based prioritization, and practical automation. I have implemented test strategies across diverse environments, written SQL queries to verify data integrity, and supported complex validation of medical devices and enterprise software. I’m comfortable mentoring teams, building test frameworks, and communicating clearly to stakeholders about quality and risks.
